SPIES PROTECTING THE ROBBER BARONS AND THEIR MAFIAS?

US and UK spy chiefs would deny that they run al Qaeda and carry out acts of false flag terrorism.

They would deny that they have links to Mafia operations involved in selling nuclear technology and heroin.

Terrorism finance expert Loretta Napoleoni estimates the total value of the trade in narcotics, weapons and people to be about $1.5 trillion annually, the bulk of which "flows into Western economies, where it gets recycled in the U.S. and in Europe" as a "vital element of the cash flow of these economies."

Rumsfeld arrives in Baku.

Ayman al-Zawahiri is the boss of al Qaeda.

Between 1997 and 2001, Zawahiri had regular meetings at the U.S. embassy in Baku, Azerbaijan, with U.S. military and intelligence officials.

Five years ago, Edmonds revealed to the Sunday Times that a top U.S. State Department official was on the payroll of Turkish agents in Washington, who were selling nuclear and military secrets.

"He was aiding foreign operatives against U.S. interests by passing them highly classified information, not only from the State Department but also from the Pentagon, in exchange for money, position and political objectives".

In the Sunday Times, Edmonds described a parallel organisation in Israel cooperating with the Turks on selling weapons and technology.

Israel and Turkey operated front companies, incorporated in the USA, with active "moles in sensitive military and nuclear institutions", supported by U.S. officials, in order to sell secrets to the highest bidder.

The Pakistani operation was led by General Mahmoud Ahmad, ISI chief from 1999 to 2001.

Ahmad was accused by the FBI of arranging a $100,000 payment to Mohammed Atta, one of the 9/11 hijackers, immediately before the attacks.

In September 2001, the ISI chief general Ahmad attended several meetings at the Pentagon and National Security Council, including with CIA director George Tenet.

Edmonds has said that the Pentagon operations using al Qaeda are an 'extension' of the CIA's original original 'Gladio' operation which carried out acts of false flag terrorism in Europe.

Swiss historian Dr. Daniele Ganser records in his book, NATO’s Secret Armies, that an official Italian parliamentary inquiry confirmed that MI6 and the CIA set up a network of secret 'stay-behind' paramilitary armies, staffed by fascist and Nazi collaborators.

NATO's secret armies carried out terrorist attacks as part of the 'strategy of tension', aimed at keeping right-wing 'Mafia' political parties in power.

"You had to attack civilians, the people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game" explained Gladio operative Vincenzo Vinciguerra during his trial in 1984.

"The reason was quite simple. They were supposed to force these people… to turn to the State to ask for greater security."

Edmonds says: "I know for a fact that NATO planes routinely shipped heroin to Belgium, where they then made their way into Europe and to the UK.

"They also shipped heroin to distribution centres in Chicago and New Jersey.

"FBI counterintelligence and DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) operations had acquired evidence of this drug trafficking in its surveillance of a wide range of targets, including senior officials in the Pentagon, CIA and State Department."

Edmonds refers to an FBI translator named Jan Dickerson whose husband is U.S. Air Force Major David Dickerson

"As part of this surveillance, the role of the Dickersons - with the support of these senior U.S. officials - in facilitating drug-trafficking, came up.

"It was clear from this evidence that the whole funnel of drugs, money and terror in Central Asia was directed by these officials."

Sevenoaks
School settles sex abuse case out of court - November 07,
2013

Sevenoaks School has agreed to settle out of court a
claim that one of its high profile teachers, now dead, sexually abused a 12
year-old boy who was one of his pupils.

The claimant, now aged 48, was a
pupil at Sevenoaks School between 1976 and 1983.

He now suffers from a schizoid
personality disorder with symptoms of Asperger’s Syndrome.

He alleges
that the teacher, Gerd Sommerhoff, befriended him and invited him to his flat in
the school grounds. It was there that the abuse is said to have taken
place.

The claimant eventually reported his allegations to the police in
November last year, partly as a result of the publicity surrounding the Jimmy
Savile scandal. Previous allegations against Sommerhoff by another pupil were
made last year.

The legal case against the school has been brought by
Tracey Emmott, a specialist child abuse lawyer who also represented survivors of
the Jersey Haut de la Garenne scandal.

“My client has had to live with
this throughout his teens and adult life,”said Tracey Emmott of Emmott Snell
Solicitors.

“He reported the abuse to a number of doctors over the years
but no action was taken. It is a characteristic of child abuse survivors that
they are left emotionally damaged and with an overwhelming sense of guilt at
what took place.

“So reporting the abuse at all took some courage. In the
end what gave him the impetus to bring it out into the open was the publicity
surrounding the Jimmy Savile affair.

“Like so many others, the
revelations had a cathartic effect on him and he felt free at last to tell his
story to the police.

“As with Jimmy Savile, anecdotal evidence suggests
that Sommerhoff’s abuse may have been suspected by those who worked with him.
But also as with Savile, perhaps they didn’t act because we seem to find it
difficult to believe that public acclaim might hide some very unsavoury
characteristics.”

Sommerhoff was a distinguished teacher, inventor and
philosopher and the great grandson of German composer Robert Schumann.

He
fled from the Nazis to Canada in 1936, admitting that his ‘lifelong attraction
to young men’ would have meant his certain imprisonment in his native country...

He left the Dragon School, notorious for starting Derek Slade on his career, worked at the BBC, left Sevenoaks in unclear circumstances (and much rumour) to work in Cambridge. And during his years of abusing, knighted for his service to the education of boys.

And he was fucking these prepubescent children in a flat in the middle of the school - possibly listening to Emma Johnson practice the clarinet as he did it.

Hello AangirfanJust by co-incidence-I know, there are no co-incidences- I am reading Ian McEwan's 'Sweet Tooth'and have just finished Herman Koch's 'The Dinner.'

One of McEwan's characters attended the Sevenoaks school you mention here.

I am around the same age as both authors and I find their perceptions to be psychologically very astute.Their writing skills are exceptional, with the Dutch man and his translator demonstrating that particularly salty humour unique to the Dutch, and not easily captured.

Both books deal with 'family' in the context of the greater 'human family', and I recall very clearly arriving in London in 1973 from the sterile but pristine and relatively wealthy Canberra. I was shocked by the general state of degradation and depression of the London that had been so pompously inflated to us crass colonials. All ably described by McEwan.

Anyway, I have yet to finish Sweet Tooth but I find it riveting in the context of contemporary events, so courageously presented by Aangirfan, as they are. I had already worked it out for myself in Oz, but only found like minded thinkers and actors on the internet. When I found Aangirfan it felt as though I had come home.

I remember talking to a senior London civil servant about Gerd Sommerhoff back in the 1990s. He told me that after the 2nd World War Britain 'collected' many foreigners of economic and military potential. It was just as important to keep them out of American and Soviet hands as to recruit them for British purposes. Some had immediate value and some were 'parked' in academia or teaching - Gerd Sommerhoff was not the only one parked in Sevenoaks School. These were places where their imperfections would not attract serious complaint or criticism.In the mid 1980s the police were called to Sevenoaks School and Gerd Sommerhoff was forced to move on, for poisoning the well that he was drinking from (a sexual assault of some kind). He was moved to Cambridge, which is full of emotionally immature (but older, legal) young men. The authorities were correct in their belief that nobody would ever act on scandal in a public school - they never did during Gerd Sommerhoff's lifetime. Protecting the reputation of the schools and the country comes far ahead of protecting the pupils.The Americans got Werner Von Braun and the lunar program. We got Gerd Sommerhoff and industrial-scale paedophilia in our public schools. Whatever his early promise was, he must have delivered on it because he was rewarded and protected.

@Anonymous 5:58 PM - very fitting that Ian McKewan wrote the hideous "Atonement", in which not one person remotely atones. There was, curiously, a clerical daughter at Sevenoaks School in the early years of girls' admission - a bold clue to her identity appears within the text, in a different context. What does it all mean?

Gerd Sommerhoff, a well-connected German national with an affluent background, was the son of Elizabeth (Sommerhoff) and step-son of Major Bernard Francis Anne Vernon-Harcourt of Ryde, Isle of Wight. His elder brother Walter Hans and twin sister Gerda Sommerhoff, emigrated to Santiago, Chile. Gerd Sommerhoff was appointed OBE in 1982 (no sniggering at the back!) "for services to the education of boys".

A number of former pupils have named Gerd Sommerhoff as a paedophile sexual abuser, as well as other teachers.

Sevenoaks School had little comment:

Last week, in response to the out of court settlement, a Sevenoaks School spokesman said: “The School can confirm that it was contacted by a former pupil about allegations of abuse said to have occurred over 30 years ago.

“Given this concerned events so long ago – and did not relate to any pupils or staff currently at the School – the matter was dealt with by the insurers from that period.”

When approached with Mr Neilson’s allegations, a spokesman for the school said they do not wish to make any further comment.

There is a new revelation in the serial paedophile abuse scandal at top UK private school Sevenoaks School. The school chaplain was one Peter Hullah, who is the same Peter Hullah who was headmaster of the prestigious Chetham Music School.

Peter Hullah is a Bishop (now without a post, in title only) and charity consultant.

Some of these names are reminding me of an organisation like Jerry Falwell's Moral Majority, in which (Protestant) Christians formed bonds and pledged their allegiance through group confessions - perhaps even paedophilia and worse. It is only human to suspect that there were those who heard such criminal confessions and did fuck all and those who used the knowledge in dirty tricks.

Was the English version called Moral Majority, or did it have another name?
